Publisher's Synopsis
First published in 1901, this short treatise on financial trading offers a simple, logical approach to investment that may hold the interest of the modern investor. The simple method of investment requires a level of capital that may be beyond the reach of many, however the strategy outlined has an appealing simplicity. The preface to the original is as follows: "This book is published to show the absurdity of trying to make money speculating in Wall Street without adequate capital and the ease with which it can be made with capital and proper methods. The following pages open to the public a safe, conservative, and highly remunerative channel for the investment of their surplus funds, which does not have the element of risk and uncertainty that exists in general business.".
